What better way to enjoy some springtime sunshine than by playing sports as a family? Whether your home is already filled with basketball fans or you\u2019re hoping to introduce a new sport to your preschool kids, we have a handful of boredom-busting basketball games that will keep your family active and engaged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

H-O-R-S-E<\/b><\/h3>\n

For this game, you need two or more players and one basketball. One player attempts a shot, and if they score, the second player must duplicate the same shot. If the first player misses their shot, the second player gets a chance to score. Each time a player misses an attempted duplicate shot, they earn a letter from the world <\/span>HORSE<\/span><\/i>. The game is finished once one person accumulates all five letters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Musical Basketballs<\/b><\/h3>\n

This game requires four or more players and provides a great opportunity to get your preschool child\u2019s friends involved. Players should walk in a circle dribbling a ball as a song plays in the background. When the song stops, each player shoots his or her ball in an attempt to score. Once a player makes a basket, they can sit down. The last player standing is out of the game. Continue until all players but one are out. You have a winner!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teach the Fundamentals<\/b><\/h3>\n

Teach your children about the different types of scoring shots (layups, free throws, jump shots) and have them practice different drills. Dribbling drills and one-on-one scrimmaging are perfect for helping your children improve their skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go to a game!<\/b><\/h3>\n

Another way to teach your kids about basketball is by taking them to a live game. Whether you go to a professional NBA game or head to a public, free game at a local high school, the exhilarating atmosphere, music, lights, and cheering crowd will have your children eager to hit the court and keep practicing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Encourage your kids to do their best, continue practicing and have fun this month as they explore their newfound interest in basketball.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
